32 players are participating in the "I Tournament of Senas Alfonso X" which aims to recover the practice of this typical Lorca game (16/04/2019)

The semifinals and the final are scheduled for the last days of this month, coinciding with the festivities of the May Crosses |

The Hall of Acts of the Department of Sports has hosted this morning the presentation of the 'I Tournament of Senas Alfonso X', which is being held on the occasion of the parties of this Lorca neighborhood.

The tournament began to be played last week at the Civic Center of Alfonso X from Monday to Friday from 6 pm.

The semifinals and the final will take place at the end of this month, the intention is that they can be played in the street, and that they can be seen by all those who come to enjoy that day of the festivities of this neighborhood.

The origin of this game is in the games of tables that King Alfonso X the Wise met in 1283 in his 'Book of acedrex dice e tablas'.

The name is due to the division of the board into four zones with six squares each.

It faces two players, each of them with 15 chips, and will win the first to get around the board.

In this trophy that is mixed, a total of 32 players are participating, among which there are three women.

As a curiosity, two and three generations of the same family are participating in the tournament, as is the case of a grandfather, a father and a son, and a father with his daughter.

The organizers emphasize that the signs are a typical Lorca game, and that a group of people are working to recover this tradition that was formerly played, among other places, in a bar located in Lope Gisbert.

The goal is to continue promoting the practice of this game, and for this they intend to make a school of Senas, in which all the fans can participate.
